The Jacksonville Jaguars needed help at receiver heading into April’s draft and came away with two when it was all over.
Of course, the first receiver selected was Laviska Shenault Jr., who was a well-known prospect coming out of the draft process. The second receiver was Collin Johnson, who many haven’t really talked about because he was a fifth-round pick.
However, when looking at Johnson’s size (6-foot-6, 222-pounds) he gives the Jags a big target like no other on the roster — at least within the wide receivers group. That’s exactly why fans should be excited about the former Longhorn, who aided the University of Texas to have one of the more impressive offenses in college football.
As far as seeing him officially suit up in his jersey, fans no longer have to wait until the Jags’ first preseason or regular season game to see him in black and teal. After signing his contract this month, the organization sent Johnson his jersey through the mail, and of course, he wasted no time putting it on to share the moment with fans over social media.

Looks good if you ask me!
Johnson will get to finally link up with his teammates next month on July 28th for training camp. While he and all of the other rookies from the 2020 class could be behind due to not having organized team activities and minicamp, he’ll have plenty of notable names to take him in like Pro Bowler D.J. Chark and veteran Chris Conley to name a few.
